Girl promises fresh pics as hearing looms

As court action over the AFL nude photo scandal begins on Thursday, the teenage girl at the centre of drama says she will release five more candid shots of footballer to the media.

The 17-year-old girl, who is holidaying with her family on the Gold Coast, pledged in a new webcast on video upload site Ustream to hand the images to the media when she arrives at Melbourne Airport on Thursday afternoon.

Aspects of the increasingly unseemly episode will be aired the same day in the Federal Court in Melbourne.

The girl appeared off-camera but delivered her message by reading song lyrics she said were sent to her by an un-named fan. In part, she read:

"Tomorrow, five more photos will be seen, and at Melbourne Airport the media will await their news story.

"And now I hope you will all learn and see that I told you all not to f*** with me."

Earlier, on social media website Twitter, the girl hinted she would release new images when she arrives at Melbourne Airport on Thursday afternoon.

She had already spoken at length about the photographs and her future intentions in another video.

The teenager posted naked photographs of St Kilda AFL captain Nick Riewoldt, Zac Dawson and Nick Dal Santo on her Facebook site on Monday, claiming she had taken the snaps while with the players in a Melbourne hotel room.

Riewoldt has angrily denied the claim, saying the pictures were taken by fellow player Sam Gilbert 12 months ago in a Miami hotel room.

Gilbert says the girl lifted the photographs from his computer without his knowledge.

Legal action he has launched against the girl will be the subject of procedural hearings in the Federal Court on Thursday.

Already, the court has ordered her to refrain from publishing photos of Riewoldt and his teammates.

The girl says she has made the photographs public to take revenge on the St Kilda club, the players involved and the AFL because they failed to treat properly her claims she became pregnant to a St Kilda player.

Riewoldt's manager, Ricky Nixon, alleged in his affidavit that the teenager fronted his office on September 6 and said she had stolen naked photographs of Riewoldt with Dawson, and another of Nick Dal Santo, from Gilbert's laptop.

She later offered him the Riewoldt shot in exchange for $20,000, he said.

In his affidavit, Gilbert says he took the photographs on the September 2009 trip and kept them on his laptop, and the shots were taken without his knowledge when the teenager and her friend used his laptop in February this year.
